[parisc-linux] a pretty big change

Hello Paul,

thanks for the quick answer. I am sorry but I did not
understand what I see in System.map:

excerpt 1 for System.Map:
c0049f90 t $CODE$
c0049f90 t put_unused_buffer_head
c0049fd8 t L$1856
c004a004 t L$1854
c004a018 t $CODE$
c004a018 t get_unused_buffer_head
c004a110 t $CODE$
c004a110 t create_buffers
c004a320 t $CODE$
c004a320 t end_buffer_io_async

So I thought 0xc004a078 is in get_unused_buffer_head
which is in fs/buffer.c.

excerpt 2 from System.map:
c0111f14 D blkdev_inode_operations
c0111f64 D def_chr_fops
c0111fa0 D chrdev_inode_operations
c0111ff0 d L$C0008
c0111ffc d L$C0009
c011200c d L$C0010
c0112018 d L$C0011
c0112028 d L$C0012
c0112038 D nr_files
c0112038 d lock___76

So 0xc0112000 points into the data segment(?) as a
return address for that subroutine.

Unfortunately I have no anonymous ftp server here at
work, where I can put the kernel for you. And
puffin.external.hp.com has no Incoming directory...

So is it ok to send Image + System.map as a
tar.gz-file via mail to you?

If this problem is not of general interest and other
big changes will happen soon (maybe the 2.3 merge)
where the problem might go away, it is ok that you
simply say "wait for that to happen" to me. 
 
Regards
Ulrich
